It's rare for it to be strong, from what i've seen. Based on the videos that have been shown, it appears that it would be the most strongly diamagnetic substance (other than superconductors) known by a wide margin.
In comparison, levitating things like pyrolytic graphite seems to require truly massive magnets to achieve even millimeters of levitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC3r9-OaWes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC3r9-OaWes
